He started with hunters and jumpers. Enough said.

Buffy the guy is pure class, and I've never met the guy so its not like hes a buddy or client I'm pumping up.
Obviously he is a true horseman and more importantly posesses class displayed by very few people.

He's a great teacher too...

I trained with him in 5 or 6 jumper clinics. He's got a way with people AND animals.

OK, I am jealous. Saw him ride in person once many moons ago. He has an awesome seat! (No dirty rude comments please, just saying that man was an awesome rider!)

Yeah, he really is one of the best riders I've ever seen, Buffy. I trained with Ian Millar for one winter too when they were down at our barn (they used to winter them at Grand Cypress Equestrian Center in Orlando) and IMO, Matz could put Ian to shame. Do you remember Big Ben? I got to ride him around the ring when I was a kid and from then on out, I knew that horses would always be in my life.

YOU GOT TO RIDE BIG BEN? OH MY GOD! I am really jealous!

I LOVED Big Ben, I really was very sad to learn of his death, such a neat old horse!

He was also very classy back than, I have always been very fond of him since those Sporthorse days, a true asset to the game.

Jack I really wanted to meet you and many others but I'm so busy when i get down there. Where I am lucky enough to hang out all day is very far away from the main part of the facility as well.
I had an eventful trip and will be posting a "Scavs" type summation of it.
Maybe in the spring we can hook up at the Derby.
I got lucky and good the last three races of what had been a tough beat aggravating trip up until then.
